As it was described in bars 21-24, in the previous autographs Chopin used here a version which in A and in the editions appeared right there. In AI and AII it was preserved in its earliest form, with triads in bar 30.

In the main text we add a cautionary  before e1 in bar 19, a similar action was taken in all subsequent editions.
